About me

I’m a designer, developer, and design educator based in Washington, D.C. I teach in the graphic design program at American University, offering classes that integrate culture, code, and form. I’m interested in place-based, participatory education, and in using products of design—maps, images, interactive systems, and in-person events—to help us imagine landscapes, past and future.

Current/recent projects:

• The lost streams project looks at D.C.’s shifting shorelines and buried streams.
• Knowledge Commons DC is a free school offering classes all over the city.
